A group of House Democrats, including Jared Huffman of California and Marc Pocan of Wisconsin, have called on President Joe Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 election. They believe that Vice President Kamala Harris should be at the top of the ticket. This comes after increasing pressure for Biden to reconsider his re-election bid, with Senator Jon Tester of Montana and Senator Mark Heinrich of New Mexico also publicly urging him to step aside. Despite this, Biden has received support from progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who warned that removing Biden could lead to chaos and an attempt to remove Harris as well. Bold Pac, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, has endorsed Biden, citing the disastrous impact of a second Trump presidency on the Latino community. Additionally, Biden has condemned the sentencing of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich in Russia, stating that journalism is not a crime. Despite the calls for him to step aside, Biden remains committed to his re-election campaign and plans to continue campaigning next week. The situation remains fluid, with some lawmakers publicly urging Biden to step aside while others support him remaining the nominee.
